Abstract:
In this paper variability refers to the range of values between particular climate maxima and minima over a period of time (Mitchell 1976). Atmospheric variability in space and time can significantly alter the response of the ecosystem. For instance, comprehensive studies emphasise notable relations of reproduction phenology to climate in tropical rain forests (e.g. Hamann 2004). Three types of relevant spatiotemporal heterogeneities are dicussed in this chapter: Long-term and quasi-periodic oscillations of meteorological conditions Seasonal changes of selected meteorological parameters (clouds and precipitation), as a supplement to information already presented in Chapter 8 The diurnal course of rainfall
